After starting his career in New York, Mark Compton - now based in San Francisco - has specialised in location photography for over 10 years.

With a strong technical background and a great way with people, Mark's cross-disciplinary skills have him shooting cars, landscapes, people, and interiors for advertising, annual reports, and editorial clients.

Recent clients include: Acura, Buick, Adidas, Visa, Hewlett Packard, Hyperion, Thoratec Corporation, Men's Journal, Skiing and Outside's Go Magazine. They say they keep coming back for Mark's clean, graphic imagery and his well-run, efficient productions.

He is currently working on an image library of roads and landscapes - both for his own composites and as potential CGI background plates. He has plans for trips to the northern USA plains states of North and South Dakota and the often overlooked areas of northeastern California.
